Unhurried. Unrushed. Unequaled in relaxation. That’s La belle vie in the south of France. Need we say more?

Our first stop is Sete, home to the great medieval walled city of Carcassonne. Go wine-tasting, or take a walking tour of Sete’s markets to sample local cheeses, fruits and delicacies like octopus pie.

The action picks up with an overnight stay in Marseilles. Visit Vieux Port, the lively fishing harbor; Le Panier, one of the oldest and most stroll-worthy neighborhoods; or

The action picks up with an overnight stay in Marseilles. Visit Vieux Port, the lively fishing harbor; Le Panier, one of the oldest and most stroll-worthy neighborhoods; or the North African souks and shops in the Capucin district.

The petite size of Sanary-Sur-Mer means you won’t see any big ships. Stroll the little shops and patisseries, then settle in at a harborside restaurant for a seafood feast paired with local wines.

In Calvi you can stroll from the ship to a long promenade of inviting shops and restaurants, or head up the hill to the massive Citadel and even more impressive views.

St. Tropez, Cannes and Monte-Carlo need little introduction, but we’re happy to introduce you to some of our favorite things, like cafes along Pampelonne Beach, wine-tasting in nearby coastal vineyards, and hilltop villages with astounding views. Relax. Enjoy. La belle vie indeed.

A luxurious boutique hotel at sea, the Azamara Journey® is a mid-sized ship with a deck plan that’s intimate but never crowded, and offers everything modern voyagers are looking for—plus some unexpected extras.

Re-imagined staterooms include modern amenities, furnishings, and European linens. Plus the ship features a large number of staterooms and suites with verandas, perfect for starting your day with fresh sea air and stunning views.

Across the fleet, our authentic service goes beyond the expectations of even the most well-traveled cruisers. Friendly and approachable, our staff are attentive, and happy to offer everything from poolside service to recommendations for your on-shore exploration. After all, we love sailing the world just as much as you do!

Add to all of that world-class dining options, spa experiences to relax and refresh, and all-new entertainment offerings, you’ve got an onboard experience that’s matched only by the immersive cultural encounters we’ve got in store on shore.

STAY LONGER. EXPERIENCE MORE.

“Stay longer. Experience more.” It’s the philosophy behind every Azamara Club CruisesÒ voyage. It’s what brings you to iconic destinations like Monte Carlo, and offers the opportunity to attend the world famous Monaco Grand Prix. It’s what led to complimentary AzAmazing EveningsÒ, where you can listen to the sounds of a private performance by a 12-piece string orchestra, in the cozy atmosphere of the Odeon, a classic Roman theater. And it’s what enables you to go behind-the-scenes of local life, with more time and opportunities to experience local culture in authentic ways thanks to Destination ImmersionÒ. Go farther, travel deeper, and bring your boutique hotel at sea with you every step of the way.

So much to do. So much time to do it.

Some things in life shouldn’t be rushed, and we believe travel is certainly one of them. Every Azamara voyage features longer and overnight stays in port, so you can experience your destinations at all hours of the day. More time on land offers the opportunity to take a train ride through the deep green mountains of New Zealand, capped off with a traditional meal cooked over a pit oven of hot rocks. With overnight stays, you can spend an evening and following morning at a quaint Bed & Breakfast in the hills of Tuscany. And nights docked in port let you attend a show or two on the other side of the world.

Where in the world would you like to go? From the tropical West Indies to the stunning Mediterranean to the Land Down Under, if there is a destination you’ve always wanted to experience, there is a good chance you can get there on one of the various Azamara itineraries, taking you to both famous destinations and hidden gem locales. Azamara itineraries seldom repeat ports, so you can make the most of your time spent traveling the world while getting an immersive look into a variety of destinations, all on one voyage. Sit back and relax. Or get out and explore. We’ll be here a while.

When you do choose to come back onboard, you’ll be completely taken care of with inclusive amenities, a relaxed atmosphere, and a passionate and friendly staff and crew that will go out of their way to make your voyage one you won’t soon forget. Welcome to your home sweet ship.
